These are simmered until the beer is reduced turning into a thick yummy syrup, coating the bratwursts. These are tender and juicy and very delicious.

Samuel Adams is a great beer, but it is not for this recipe. When I used it, the hoppy bitter taste of the Samuel Adams was very concentrated. A beer like Miller or Corona would have been much better, since they are smoother. Still the recipe is delicious. I don't think you need to use only 1/4 onion here they really cook down too - I used a whole onion.

    The BEST beer brats ever, Chef Cathy. I served with steamed, peppered yellow squash with some of the beer-syrup liquid as a sort of garnish/sauce, and some crusty bread. (I didn't have buns!) A great, easy, economical summer meal. Thanks!

    Loved it. Nice change of pace, I always either pan-fry or cook on the grill. Makes a wonderful gravy too...

    This was really good. A very easy way to cook bratwurst too. I usually BBQ mine but wanted something different. Will make this again. P.S. It was tough to remove them with THONGS hehehehe
